Bring down the walls

"There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28)

In the light of the above, I wonder why we maintain so many of the false boundaries we do. Questions such as 'can women serve in the church?' seem to me to be totally ignorant of the meaning of this passage. Here we are TOLD that now that we are in Christ Jesus, all the things that once made us distinct have been ameliorated. Our only identity is now in him. The self we once laid claim to has been crucified with him and he now lives in and through us.

So, women in leadership? Heck yes. Taking this issue specifically, I have heard it said that men are to be the leaders of the household/churches in the same way Christ is to be head of the Church. Yes, but in Christ leadership looks completely different. You want to lead like Jesus did? Then give your life up, be crucified, lay down your life for the others who have no life. Serve and don't look to be served. Can women lead in this way? I would suggest they are naturally better predisposed to it than men are!
